Using layers to combine sprites with a shift fails for multiple directions
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2021 8:19 pm
So I'm trying to fix some minor things in Modular Buildings, and that means I need to create a new corpse for the multi buildings so there isn't just a single remnant thrown into the center of the building, and fix the water_reflection so there isn't just a single reflection.
Easiest way seemed to be to just make a new corpse with the existing remnant with a layer for each building - no need to make new graphical assets for everything, just add layers with a shift to get them placed properly. This is actually how the modular buildings are setup. Unfortunately, corpses and water reflections use a single Types/RotatedAnimation instead of separate horizontal_animation and vertical_animation that the Generator type uses, and the shift part doesn't work when rotated - it's always shifted in the same direction. Anyone know if there's a way to define this so it works properly whether North/South or East/West? I've tried making animation an array, but that just seems to define variations, not directions.
It's a minor thing but I'd prefer it look correct, and if I want to support a modular <anything that isn't a Generator/assembler> I'd need to get this layering working anyway.

- Works fine East/West but not North/South
